Louisiana is an interesting place to visit and live in. Louisiana has always had a passion for food and the different types of culture that comes along with it. There are many different subjects in Louisiana to research, such as plantations, festivals, swamps, cities, and different heritages. Food brings everyone and everything together. By researching food, all of the many different facts about Louisiana can tie together. There is always a cultural background when it comes to food anywhere. The festivals in Louisiana always either include food or base themselves on food. Louisiana has a crawfish festival, po-boy festival, shrimp festival, gumbo cook-offs throughout the year, and more.

I do not believe Texas with its changing demographics and social climate will be on the brink of another switch in party dominance anytime soon as immigration, guns and education are major factors. The demographics of Texas deal with the rising growth of the minority population throughout the years. In my opinion, I think minorities make up roughly half of Texas’s overall population. According to utexas.edu, “[a]s the reality of demographic changes set in during the late 1990s, part of what defined many Republicans as moderates was an emphasis in both rhetoric and policy toward increasing the party's appeal to Latinos and other ethnic and racial minorities”. Although the Democratic Party is known for receiving votes from minorities, the Republican

Diversity teaches us to accept. I have lived in a very diverse community for much of my life. Highland Park consists of a lot of white people, but also there are a lot of Mexican immigrants. In the high school the races tend to separate themselves, but we also teach each other about our cultures and we learn a lot from each other. Many people have experienced diversity. They learn so much and become more understanding and accepting of other people because they have seen much of their

The city of New Orleans, Louisiana is known as a human gumbo due to the assortment of people, cultures and year round festivals. New Orleans, Louisiana has become a renowned tourist attraction primarily due to its delectable food, night life (Bourbon Street) and adult entertainment industry.

Growing up in a city known as the big melting pot, or big gumbo; New Orleans, La has many different cultures and is a very diverse city. Personally, I love the mixed culture of people from different background, beliefs, and way of living. At the same time, this intangible mixture can cause a lot of trouble and disagreements. From inside school grounds, to outside, cultures clash. During this month of August everyone is reminded of Hurricane Katrina and I cannot help, but to think about how during that experience so much trouble was going on between the different cultures in the city. Through that experience I also saw the entire city bind together and unify during the historic New Orleans and Atlanta Monday night football game. During that

Lafayette Louisiana witch is the capital of the Cajun Country. Has the second biggest Mardi Gras celebration. This celebration has lost its meaning. More of a tourist profit to the state this celebration would be a very hard challenge to get the state to bring its meaning back. In the old days, Mardi Gras was not just the day before Ash Wednesday. It was a day that people rode on horseback or in their trucks going to town’s businesses and neighborhoods. Once the owner of the homes or businesses allowed these people to come in the masked people started to sing, dance, play around or even play pranks on the people who allowed them in. Before the masked people left the begged the owners of the business or home for rice or other things. If they gave them something such as money or things to make a gumbo, they allowed that person to a gumbo feast that was held that evening. And if they did not the masked people would destroy their home or business. They might even mock them for years to come.” This group of masked people was known as classed Les Mardi Gras, or in English the Mardi Gras.” (Ware, 2003) Today Cajun’s don't celebrate it this way anymore. Mardi Gras is considered to be paradise, festivals, drinking and getting as many beads as you can. The masked people can still be seen but not asking for things to make a gumbo or money but as a symbol in the

Hey, Baby! Welcome to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana! New Orleans is one of the most popular cities in the boot. This wonderful, distinctive place is the home of plenty of unknown "special" activities instead of what most know which is Mardi Gras. Believe it or not, New Orleans, is a go-to city for most events that many, if not most Northern Louisianan may not existence. In other states, people can come to a conclusion that all Louisiana natives are the same, but we vary around the state. New Orleans is different from all other cities in Louisiana for the exquisite taste of food and music, the collection of festivals, and the unfamiliar, out of space language.

Although there are many different religions celebrated in Texas, there are different ways they were brought to Texas and how they're celebrated.

While the Quarter is the most famous, there are many other fascinating neighborhoods to explore including Audubon Park just adjacent to Loyola. Brightly and wildly painted Creole cottages cluster in the narrow streets, music wanders through the air along with the scent of the river and night-blooming jasmine. Narrow boulevards dotted with churches, old warehouses, chic cafés, eateries and watering holes create a culture and personality not easily replicated.

New Orleans is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the "Big Easy," it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures.

Imagine Time Square in New York City on the busiest day of the year or the Great Barrier Reef with hundreds of fish swimming around you. Those two remarkable places resemble that of the Memorial Union (MU) at Arizona State University (ASU). Not everyone loves crowded, cramped, and/or cluttered places. In fact, some people want a space that is calm, inviting, and their own. For the students that attend Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University it is just that, a secluded welcoming part of ASU. Not only is Barrett a portion of ASU that seems distant from other dorms, it has its very own unique feel. You can walk into Palo Verde East or West, Manzanita, or even the University Tower and not have the open space that surrounds the

Student diversity in both a public and private are pretty diverse. Of course at a campus like ASU there is going to be more people with different ethnicity.
